Consider the following:

All the climate change fans, they think their theory is “settled science”. That skeptics who point out that ALL the supporting data has been shown to be faked and ALL the so-called researchers have a financial interest in continued research grants being funded, etc; etc; are idiots, neanderthals, and like this article, demean them in the most childish, anti-science way imaginable. THERE IS no climate science.

Now think about “Quantum theory”. Developed let’s say 1900-1925; there was the Bohr model, which was later supplanted by a more sophisticated conceptualization.

“Quantum theory” and “quantum mechanics” have enabled very, very precise measurements and predictions to be made. Sure, some parts of it are not fully understood; and the original theories had no notion of the subatomic particles like bosons and hadrons and muons et al.

But there are vanishingly few people who do not think chemical compounds are made up of molecules and atoms; with valences and charges and spins, and that these notions enable amazingly insightful predictions about chemical behavior. In their larval form, they enabled early physicists to predict the eventual discovery of elements that were unknown; and not just the transuranics, Scandium, for example, was predicted to exist before it was ever discovered (and that happened in the 1800’s)

But my point is that this body of knowledge has been called “Quantum theory” and is called that TODAY. By calling it “theory” virtually every physicist acknowledges that this is a fluid body of knowledge, subject to change. Over a hundred years old, confirmed by millions and millions of chemical reactions and nuclear behavior, yet it’s still called “theory”. Subject to reinterpretation and there’s no shame in it.

Yet “climate change” is not a theory, it’s a religion. Never mind that it has been shown to be spurious, useless for predicting, nonsensical since it ignores earth precession in orbit around the sun, not to mention sunspot activity.

So the people who throw dirtbombs at people who doubt the validity of the theory of climate change quite frankly have the intellectual capacity of a hemmorrhoid.
